Submarine cables are usually im
budded in the Bhmy bottom of the
ocean, but at certain points they hang
like wire bridges over I'eep submarine
alleys, so that whales and other
large inhabitants of tho deep may be
come dangerous to the cable. Once
in a while it is the cable that becomes
dangerous to the whales, as recently
shown in an accident to the Western
Brazilian line.
There was eomo difficulty with the
wire, and alter rainy futile efforts the
eat of the trouble was discovered
eoventy-Bix miles north of Santa Cath
arine. The cable ship Viking was
sent to repair the damage, and began
to take up the wire. After the cable
proper had been grappled and was
wound to the surface on the large
drums provided for the purpose, it
was found that it floated very much
easier and was more buoyant than is
usually the case.
The reason was discovered wheu in
loop of the cable the carcass of a
whale of more than sixty feet in
length came into view. It appears
that the whale had become caught un
der tho cable, and, not being able to
lift it or go forward or back, it be
come suffocated. By its laet spasms
or attempts to free itself the whale
had damage.! tbe cable so that the in
sula! .on was rubbed off and the wire
became useless. Boston Globe.

with a broad, flat crown and tight
band fitting the head. A prettier style
is a white corded round hat, theorown
buttoning down over the brim with
white linen buttons, and tied under
tbe chin with broad strings of white
muslin. These hats are also made
with a soft crown, gathered on the
corded brim and finished on top with
a flat rosetto of muslin or lace. A
pretty hat for a boy boby has a softly
shirred brim and a full puffed crown
with lace between the puffings. Little
girls wear cIobo bonnets, bnt may
have hats if preferred, though they
are not as picturesque. The bonnets
may have flaring fronts and high

WHEELING HINTS.
A woman who is well known among
cyclists aud has written upon the sub
ject of wheeling for her sex gives this
advice : "The right position is a hap
py medium. The rider must be about
au inch to an inch and a half within
her reach. This allows room for ankle
action, which is a sine quajuon in
good ridiug. Learners may ba lower
at first, but it must be a clearly under
stood thing that, as they fguin confi
dence, the taddle must be gradually
raised to the height before men
tioned. Then the backward and for
ward shifting must be taken into ao-
count. Thero is a great deal said
about the discomfort of nearly all sad
dles, but in nino cases out of ten
proper adjustment mukes a marvelous
difference in euso of riding. A creat

a spanner or wrench with any degree
oflacility. In the early days of rid

in the coat pocket, and should be used
till comfort is obtained. The seat pil
lar always adjusts by slackeuiug the
nut at the top of tho euameled tube.

bad or good, can have its saddle raised
or lowered, and most saddles have
tilts to allow alteration in the slope of
the saddle. Every bicycle should have
this movement fitted. Once the sad

udjusted. As a rule, a shade higher
than the peak of tho saddle is about
right, but a great deal depends on
length of armi, height, eto. The

is a great mistake ever to iron thin

as crockly as paper, while if allowed
to partly dry first, it is almost impos

APPLES.
Few fruits are so generally loved as
are apples, and few can be eaten in

punity from disagreeable after-effects.
trom the time when the sweet mealy
"harvest apples" fall, to the frosty day
when we pluck the last round iuicv
globe whose crimson cheeks glow with
the fresh crispnees ooncealed within,
wo eDjoy this bountiful gift of nature ;
and what a number of nDDotizinsr
ways there aro of preparing this fruit.
While delicious in its natural state,
unliKe many others, it is aotually im
proved by oooking. To apple-loving
housekeepers tho followiug recipes
handed down from our grandmother's
day, a relio of her large, sunny old
fashioned kitchen wheie were pro
duced wonderful goodies, which ap
peased our childish hunger.
Lo rreaorvo Apple Pare an J weieh
ten pounds of apples, put them into a
pan to stew, with one pint of water;
when all are dissolved, put in the samo
weight of sugar, two" ounces of ground
ginger, with the juice and grated rind
of four or five lemons. Boil rather
more than half an hour, stirring all
the time. Put away in preserve jars
or stone crocus.
Apple in Jelly reel and quarter
some good apples, taking out the
cores, then plaoe them with some
slices of lemon in a preserving kettle,
oover slightly with sugar, ponr on the
apples a little cold water and boil un
til tender. Carefully take out the
pieces of apple and plaoe in jws, then
boil the syrup down, until it will jel
ly, and pour over the apples immedi
ately.
Apple Soufllo Stew the apples with
a little lemon-peel ; sweeten and then
lay them around the inside of a dish.
Make a custard of the yolks of two
eggs, a little cinnamon, sugar, and
milk. Let it thiokenover a slow fire,
but not boil ; when ready, pour it
into the center of the dish containing
the apples. Beat the whites ot the
eggs to a ttrong froth, and cover the
whole. Throw over it a good deal of
powdered sugar, and then brown it.
Boiled Apple Pudding Make a but
ter crust or a suet one, using for a
moderate-sized pudding from three-
quarters to one pound of flour, with
the other ingredients in proportion.
Butter u basin; line it with paste;
pure, core and cut apples into slices,
and till the basin with these ; add sugar
to taste, flavor with lemonpeel and
juice, aud cover with crust, pinch tho
eitges together, nour the cloth, place
it over the pudding, tying securely,
and put into plenty cf fast-boiling
water. Let this boil from one and a
half to two aud a half hours, accord
ing to the size ; then turn out of the
basin, aud send it to table quickly.
Apple puddings may also be boiled in
a cloth without a basin; but, when
made in this way, it must be solved
without the least delay, us tbe crust
so soon becomes heavy. Apple pud
ding is a very convenient dish to have
when the diuner hour is rather un
certain, as it does not spoil by being
boiled an extra hour; care, however,
must be taken to keep it well covered
with water all the time, and not to al
low tho boiling to cease. New Or

temperance question, it is very plain to any
observer that drunkenness is an tmmonse.

IS ALCOHOL A r-OISOM?
This question, ns we learn from La Bleu
Soelalo of MelKium, Is thus answered by Dr.
Laborde, of tbe Paris Faoultv ot Mcdlolues
"Yes, alcohol is a poison, because It pro
duces those deraugements or serious accl
ilents, even mortal, which strike at onoe the
body nnd the mind. It prevents the man
walking straight aud cause him to stagger
and fall; It makes him tremble and gives blin
convulsive shocks; It makes him foolish nnd
Srlmlnnl, driving him on to murder his
mates aud even his nearest relations; It re
duces him to the state ot an imbecile, an
Idiot, and a brute thnt is to say, to the
level, and even below that, ot an animal,
and, beyond that, It eondomns him to be
tbe parent of unhealthy children deformed,
epileptic. Imbecile, or Idiot disposed to
murder tneir fellows and become criminal."
Such Is a short picture of alcohollo poison
ing or alcoholism.
ILL AT EASE.
"Somo time ago," says jfrofessor W. Q.
Btackle, "I received a letter from an emi
nent London brewer, a philanthropist, ask
ing for a subscription to tbe Hetortnatory
Union. I took the liberty of asking some
f minted question regarding the shops be
onging to his Arm, saying that I humbly
thought that by his gin palaces bs was help
ing to tumble Into the gutter far more hu
man creatures than all the refuges In the
kingdom were pioklug out of It. Be replied
and said ba was not responsible for the abuse
of bis wares. He was evidently very 111 nt
ease, and concluded bis letter In a way tbat
touched me by asking me to pray for him."
INTEUl-EUANCK SUOBTKNS LIFE.
There Is no doubt that intemperance short
ens life. In a recent medical work on tbe
digestive organs aud faculties, a noted phy
sician says: "The duration ot bum an life
tuny be ascertained by the pulsation of tbe
body. Hay a man lives seventy years, his
heart beating sixty to tbe minute, tho pulsa
tions in tbat time foot up to two aud a quar
ter billions. If, by Intemperance or any
at her cause, he raises pulsations to so vent y
Qve a minute, the same number of pulsations
would be llnlshud in tlfty-six years,"
STBONO DBINK DAMAGE TUB VOICE.
An expert, Hlms Keeves, gives It as his
opinion that "tbe timbre of tbe voice is dam
aged by Indulgence in strong drink, and
that to abstain altogether la to give It that
force, precision aud character which ever
made singing a success. This is an opinion
to the valuablo lesson of which not only
professional and amateur singers, but all
who ure in tbe bablt of using intoxicants,
would do well to give heed."
A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT.
I'roiossor Morse, at a recent meeting of the
Alumni Association of the Medico-Cbirurgl-cal
Cjllege in Philadelphia, made these sig
nificant statements: "Wearo rapidly becom
ing a Nation of beer drinkers, and the insidi
ous hold gained by that incurable kidney
affection known as liright's disease threatens
in time to deoimule the ranks ot the beer
drinker."

A Monster Clam.
A monster clam from tho Sound,
woighinfr somo six or eight pounds,
was displayed in frout of a fish mar
ket yesterday, and attraotod much at
tention, says the Portland Oregonian.
The nook is about a foot long, and as
thiok as a man's wrist, and the body
looks like a mallard duck placed be
tween two clam shells, not big enough
for it Such clams are seen here oo
casionnlly, but never in quantities. A
dozen or sq is the largost number
ever here at ono time. Thoy are not
(bad eating, the neck being no tougher
vunn mat oi tne ordinary clam. Thoy
aro only to be obtained on oooasion of
very high tides, whinh run very far
out, and then are only to be secured
with difficulty by digging a trench
like a sewer. It is said that they climb
down into the mud or inml ;n, uu
mnoh agility as a Clatsop razor olam.

clam on exhibition is to form ono of
the attractions of tho Elks' clambake,
and the man who swallows it wholo is
to have a modal and a pain in the

How to Keep tho Eyes Ilrlglit.
Nover rub yonr eyes nor allow your
children to do so from their cradles.
Veils are bad for the sight, especially
those spotted or covered with a pat
tern ; so eschew veils when you can,
or wear the softest, clearest net whan
obliged to do so. Nover road in bed
or when lying on a sofa. Bit with
vonr back to the light when engaged
in reading or working, l'ale blues or
greens are tho most restful wall pa
lters for the eyes, whereas red is ex
ceedingly fatiguing. Do not read,
ffrite, or work longer than two hours
together without resting your eyes
ind closing them fully five minutes.

Gladness Comes

rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, thnt so many forms of
sickness aro not duo to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a conhtijwtcd condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
fumily laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompts
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Ita beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is tho
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it nets. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial cfTeets, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in tho enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regulnr, laxatives or
other remedies aro then not needed. If
anlit-ted with nny actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a luxntivo,
one should have tho best, and with tha
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
